Crusaders v Reds

@Stargazer said in Crusaders v Reds:

The article doesn't mention him, but I assume that not only Ennor and Havili are getting a rest, but also Hall? Or has anyone read anything about him being injured?

It will be interesting to see how Bridge goes at 15. The last time he played there was against the Sharks, after Jordan was subbed off in the second half (Havili didn't play that game either).

Good to see Mataele on the team sheet. It has been a very long injury break. I hope he can still do the magic and that he can leave his injuries behind him.

Hall is fit he is on a rest week.

A few interesting comments on the team in this article.

I like the reds kit, looks very much like the combined services strip!

[Machpants]

Poor play by the saders, they're dominating but no composure

[gt12]

If Jordie/Dmac did that we’d be piling on. Bridge isn’t a safe pair of hands.

[gt12]

Much better by the Saders there.

[Machpants]

Man there are some poor nines pretending to be super rugby level in NZ...

If only Fakatavaaaaaaa was playing

Saders looking very average

[Machpants]

Fuck the saders are playing like headless chickens

[antipodean]

Why can't the Crusaders just take the tackle instead of flinging the ball away?

[Machpants]

How embarrassing, behind to the reds after 25 mins...

Edit as I type that crap shit attempt at conversion, 10 all but reds have two tries

[Machpants]

Man this is such shit from saders, stupid too clever passes that aren't coming off, along with misaligned defence. Barrett is playing well but needs to grip his team

[antipodean]

Learn to pass Bridge.

Also can't pass, tackle, or break the line for shit. He's been utter toss, as has enari

[Machpants]

Fuck bridge is so shiiiiiit.

[Bones]

This is an amazingly shit crusaders team.

[Toddy]

@Machpants Yeah, it's been surprising how shit Bridge has been.

[Machpants]

I'm going to be turning this of soon, who wants to watch this sorry of crap?

The rugby player formerly known as Tui had been awesome tho

What's Enari been doing wrong?

[Jailbreak7]

WTF is up with the Saders???
Passes to no-one, shelled ball and stupid hitchkicks not bloody working.
Heres the thnig - how about some hard straight and direct running??
Oh and I'm already fed up with "Let me explain..." rastavenghe -let the Reds lie all over the ball

[antipodean]

That's a terrible penalty decision against Taylor.
